Good morning families!

Today I am going to challenge everyone with the task of letting your kids get a little messy… while at the same time… being clean! For today, find some shaving cream in your house and put a squirt of it right onto either a table or some kind of plastic placemat. Then, voila! Your kids can literally dig right in with their hands and get to work!

While using the shaving cream, encourage your child to draw letters (specifically their own name but also the names of other people in your home), numbers, shapes, people, anything they want to draw.

At my house, my kids started out with using their finger to draw/write… they then started using the eraser side of a pencil to make their letters in the shaving cream. We also have these little foam blocks (from Dollar Tree) that stick together great when you use shaving cream to put them together!

Check out my YouTube video on writing your first and last name in the shaving cream….

Last but not least… we will do a new story on Zoom today! We will meet on Zoom at 3:00 PM. Parents, please join the meeting via the link on Remind a few minutes before 3:00 PM and make sure you allow both video and microphone so you can see and hear me. “See” you all at 3:00 today!
